George Cloony is doing a brilliant job of sticking it to the Man. He has just produced and starred in two anti-Bush movies without being labelled liberal and unpatriotic. Syriana is a bit more obvious than Good Night and Good Luck, but the later is a better film. Good Night is the story of Edward R. Murrow's brave defeat of Senator Joe McCarthy's attack on the First Ammendment. The Senator accused anyone who stood up to the government as "Communist" and had them stand trial. It is beautifully shot in black and white, making you feel the time. The film was slow and a bit boring, but still quite good. Kudos to Clooney for bashing the Republican establishment for calling people who disagree with the Administration as unpatriotic.
